    It pisses me off too. They need to take the ability away since most people nowadays have no consideration for others. When someone does it to me, I make sure kick the seat regularly with my knees everytime I shift in the seat (which I do more often when the idiot reclines in my lap). See if you can nap now....

    Hey Nurk....I'm totally with you on that dude! Life is short and it is what you make of it. I have greatly exceeded what was expected of me.....overcome a lot of statistics to have a relatively successful life. It's all about taking risks and never giving up!

    The last time I met with friends was last month. I meet once a month with a couple of lab managers (one is retired). We used to work together as lab scientists many years ago and have met monthly for several years now to stay in touch. We went down different paths in the last few years..one is still a lab manager, I am a professor (teaching lab) and one is retired. We have always enjoyed each others company.

    I know! What did happened to the foot measurer thingy? I used to work in a shoe store and we had to measure feet. Of course, some parents didn't listen to you and bought whatever they decided the kid needed. Usually way too big...saying they will grow into them. I agree with Nurk, it is a plot to make us all crippled.

    Motto I learned many years ago...never scrimp money on shoes or your mattress. You gotta take care of your feet and your back.

    BYW: I love to be barefoot! Only put on shoes when I have to go somewhere.

    I don't think you blame the addiction on the drug anymore than you can blame killing on the gun. It depends on who is using it and where their head is at when they do. I have seen more families destroyed from alcohol addiction and perscription drugs than recreational drugs like pot.

    If pot were legalized and the "illegal" circumstances were changed, it could come out of the underground, seedy, more "hard" part of society and there would be less exposure to the harder stuff. Since it is lumped in with meth, crack and all those very destructive drugs, the buyers become exposed to these other drugs because the dealers would rather sell them to you, fully knowing you will become addicted and keep business brisk. So the criminalization of pot is more the gateway than the actual drug, IMO.

    1. Please list the social networking sites you have either tried and/or still use: My space, Twitter, Facebook

    2. Of the social networking sites you listed in question #1, which one is your favorite? Facebook

    3. In your opinion, what’s the biggest drawback to these sites? Spend too much time on it. Trivial information sometimes.

    4. Other than it being the “popular and 'in' thing to do,” what is your main reason for joining such a site? Catch up with old friends. Talk with people with similar interests.

    5. Take this quiz: Are You Facebook, MySpace or Twitter?

    You Are Facebook

    You are social, outgoing, and excited to connect to your friends.

    You are interested in your friends' lives, and you enjoy adding your opinion to the mix.

    While you enjoy sharing online, you don't want everyone to know your business.

    You value your privacy. Your life is an open book to those you know but not to strangers.

    6. Do you have more people you consider your friends in real life, or on your favorite social networking site? Probably on social sites.

    I used to have a lot of problems with believing in prayer. However, after living this long, I have seen so many things I can't scientifically explain (healthcare worker for many years), that I do believe in prayer and that healing is not all based on science. As sugar says, it is a source of strength for me too. :)

    . Are you attracted to the "naughty" or the "nice"? Usually naughty. Married the nice though.

    2. Do you let your dirty laundry pile up? No

    3. What's the last excuse you made? Can't remember

    4. Do you tend to play it safe or do you take risks? Depends. I sometimes take risks.

    5. Friday fill-in: Let's go to _the beach___ and _do tequila shots___.

    ^I agree with Nurk on that one! It was a toss up between two separate occasions back when I was about 17. One was a guy I had gone to grammar school with who barely got out of the driveway when he started growing 12 hands. Once I convinced him he wasn't getting anywhere, he had the nerve to ask me how many dates would it take before I put out! LOL! Then there was the guy that I went to the beach with, we were with another couple,and he got so drunk he puked most of the way home, and then wanted to kiss me! Yuck! Needless to say...didn't go out with either again.

    As it turned out, I married the guy that was with the other girl on the beach date. Ain't it grand the way life twists and turns?

    I will send out some cards. I usually do. I do not get "offended", (as stated before, we have more serious matters to deal with daily), but I do think it is sad that a religious celebration has been turned into a "holiday season". We have totally lost the meaning of Christmas, which was once a celebration of Christ's birth observed by Christians, which happened to involve the majority of the people in America when I was a child. With the influx of immigrants and duty to policitcal correctness in the last 30 years (where you cannot "offend" anyone for any reason), this sacred day has been pushed into oblivion and replaced with greedy folks trampling each other to get doorbuster electronics deals. No wonder the Arabs think we are infidels...all they see of America is what they see on TV......that we celebrate our traditional Christian faith with how many possessions we can grab.

    I love poetry. Used to write some back in the days when I had time for it. Won the creative writing award in high school from the literary magazine, lol! I like all kinds so I chose other. No particular style...just has to touch me for some reason. I think that is one of the reasons I like Tom's lyrics so much -- very poetic -- very interpretive. Why is it I teach college science and chemistry? Because that is where the money is. My heart is in the arts though. :)
